This smart pillow might stop your snoring

Called ZEEQ, the connected pillow plays tunes to lull you into dreamland, analyzes your sleep once you arrive, and intelligently wakes you up when it’s time to rise and shine. It also claims to help prevent snoring.

How? The pillow’s built-in microphones pay attention to the noise you make while you’re sleeping. If it determines you’re snoring too loudly, it will gently vibrate, gently encouraging you to change positions while hopefully not waking you up in the process. That means you don’t have to wake up harshly to your partner shoving you in an attempt to get you to stop; instead, everyone gets to keep snoozing.

More than just for snorers, the pillow has a handful of other interesting features as well. Inside are eight speakers, so you’ll also be able to listen to your favorite streaming service (or one of the included sleep tracks) no matter how you’re laying on your pillow. A sleep timer within the pillow’s app works similar to the one on your TV and kills the music when you’re asleep. From there, it monitors how you sleep (and how many times you toss and turn throughout the night) and then uses a gentle alarm to wake you up in the morning at just the right time.

The pillow has a memory foam shell and Tencell pillow case, so it’s also designed to be super comfortable. That shell is thick enough to prevent you from feeling all the sensors and wires inside, but thin enough that things like the speakers are still able to do their stuff.

ZEEQ is available for preorder on Kickstarter now for $149, with the pillow expected to start shipping in December. Kickstarter backers have the opportunity to purchase the pillow as part of a package deal and score an activity tracker that works alongside the ZEEQ app as well. When the pillow goes on sale it will retail for $179.
